TOPIC 6APPLICATION OF

BIOCATALYTIC ENGINEERING

Relevant aspects to be considered for developing a fermentation process for enzyme production are:

Enzyme localization with respect to the producing microorganismSpecific activity (units of enzyme activity per unit mass of microorganism)Specific growth rate of the producing strainGenetic stability and safety of the producing microbial strainMorphological and rheological properties of the producing strain

Relevant aspects to be considered for developing a fermentation process for enzyme production are:
